Got Five Bucks? ft. Ari Lesser [Official Music Video by Oorah]
Oorah presents a brilliant exchange between performer Ari Lesser and his homeless friend. Lyrics: Even if you shop around for a deal you still Won’t get to much with a five dollar bill At best you might get a pair of socks Or a bagel and cream cheese, forget about lox A glass of orange juice, but not fresh squeezed A slice of pizza with no extra cheese You may get a bouquet of discount flowers Or feed a parking meter for a couple of hours And everyone knows that you won’t get far If you put five dollars of gas in your car But enter the Oorah Auction today And your five-dollar bill will go such a long way Send thousands of kids to camp at the zone And set up TorahMates over the phone But if sponsoring mitzvot isn’t enough You also might win some awesome stuff Buy a five dollar ticket and with some luck You’ll win a Mastercard worth six thousand bucks Get a stack of one thousand five dollar bills Or a trip anywhere, from Japan to Brazil A vacation to Israel, including airfare All kinds of fine china and tableware Four grand to cover your dental care Or a shaitel that looks way better than your hair Make your wife happy with classy jewelry And thousands of dollars of free therapy A new Jet Ski or an ATV Or a 2-year lease on a Camry LE A sedan, minivan, or a SUV Six grand to pay for all your groceries A three-day stay in New York City With a ten thousand dollar shopping spree And everyone knows that you won’t get far If you put five dollars of gas in your car But enter the Oorah Auction today And your five-dollar bill will go such a long way You’ll help them send thousands of menorahs And offer live weekly lessons in Torah If sponsoring mitzvot isn’t enough You also might win some awesome stuff Five bucks could win you a whole lot of dough Big fat check for six-one-three-oh Six grand to help pay off your home loan Seven days at summer camp in The Zone Take your whole family to Israel for Sukkot Meet the greatest Rabbis and they’ll give you brachot Spend a week at the Waldorf in Jerusalem Get a necklace of diamonds and other fine gems Some sterling silver goods for Shabbat You could win it all if you hit the Jackpot Get a hundred times your total donation Up to fifty grand, and a family vacation Forty five for a nice home renovation Some fine furniture from Accentuations Four grand in brand new clothes and shoes And if you donate Lishma, then you never lose And everyone knows that you won’t get far If you put five dollars of gas in your car But enter the Oorah Auction today And your five-dollar bill will go such a long way You’ll help them kasher hundreds of kitchens And cover countless yeshiva tuitions If sponsoring mitzvot isn’t enough You also might win some awesome stuff Every prize cost five if you haven’t heard Like forty five hundred to make sure your insured Ten thousand dollar savings bond in the bank A thousand plus gallons of gas in your tank Five minutes to load up your shopping cart With everything you can grab at Walmart A puppy or python as a family pet Five thousand bucks to pay off all your debt Fifty five hundred to go back to school A Sefer Torah you could give to your shul Thousands of dollars in Artscroll books Twenty five grand if you make a sidduch Brand new Toyota Siena Minivan Four thousand dollar Visa card in hand Lifetime airfare to the Holy Land And of course the grand prize of thirty-six grand And everyone knows that you won’t get far If you put five dollars of gas in your car But enter the Oorah Auction today And your five-dollar bill will go such a long way Help send thousands of shmurah matzot And lulav and etrogim for Sukkot And if sponsoring mitzvot isn’t enough You also might win some awesome stuff
